1 year vs 2 year TermsGroup

We need to identify which CC members have 1 year terms vs which ones will have 2 year terms. Per our Governance Model, seven members will have a 1-year term and eight will have a 2-year term

Members who have already self-selected 1 year terms:

  1. Kathleen Berry 
  2. Paula Sullenger 
  3. Tom Cramer 
  4. dracine 
  5. Marko Knepper 

Ian Ibbotson (Use this one) is thinking about it


Would anyone else like to identify themselves as a 1 year term member? We need three more.

2022 ElectionsGroup

We need to have elections of all three councils completed so that the new councils can start July 1st. Proposed timeline:

  1. Call for nominations by May 6, 2022
  2. Nominees due/finalized May 20, 2022
  3. Voting opens May 30, 2022
  4. Voting ends June 17, 2022
  5. Results announce June 20, 2022
  6. New Councils formed/start July 1, 2022

 

We need volunteers to run the election for all 3 councils!:


  • Reach out to other councils about procedure:
    • TC - has volunteers, PC - is aware of task 
    • Inform about procedure and make contact with Hkaplanian and Simeon Warner 
    • Mike Gorrell will talk to all chairs for alignment and feedback

Boaz in chat: "We may want to involve the councils in the elections committee"


FOLIO Resource ModelGroup

Review last meeting's discussion.

Can we arrive at a CC Statement on Resourcing Model?

  • Boaz: work on this topic and create / present result on WOLFCon?
  • Marc: asks for a summary of resourcing model?
    • Mike: 
      • Sustainability
        • fund developers  vs. community commitment
          • option 1 seems unrealistic
          • option 2 - we rely on, that members will step in, when necessary 
    • Tom:
      • from chat: we currently don’t have a crisp theory of resourcing Marc. So your question is excellent, but also a challenge to answer at the moment.
      • topic is urgend! We need to find solutions before August
    • Marc: fundamental questions - how will FOLIO sustain long-term?
      • can we devide the two questions: 
        • continue funding on our last developer  - at last for the next 6 month?
        • how to do it long-term?
  • Action item: Working group to define the FOLIO resourcing model
    • Ian I., Ian W., Marko, Boaz, Marc, Tom, Harry, Kirstin
    • Action item: group and slack channel to be started by Tom    - slack "#folio-resourcing"  
    • Marc: Is there any value in having folks from the other Councils in the working group for sustainable development contributions?   -  2 agreements.
    • Any chance I can convince folks to move away from the resourcing terminology when refereeing to people and contributing?  - Yes (smile) 


Lack of PO'sSimeon

Lack of PO's

  • Harry: not really an emergency situation - more PO's than development teams
  • Julie: yes, we do!  Some people on the list just had stepped in, but have to much work.
  • Action item: Hkaplanian will reach out to Khalilah Gambrell to gather more information and come back for discussion in the next meeting - to be put on agenda of May 23, 2022
